Winter Wonders at Grootbos Reserve
This week’s parting shots come straight from the Grootbos Reserve, mid-winter, a time full of beauty and life.
Sharing Knowledge to Grow Conservation
The Grootbos Foundation’s Green Futures College and nursery team recently hosted five days of hands-on fynbos propagation training for our conservation partners from the Nuwejaarswetland Special Management Area.
Here’s what the week looked like:
Day 1: An introduction to the wonders of fynbos
Day 2: Seed assessments and cleaning
Day 3: Smoking seeds and sowing them
Day 4: Bagging rooted cuttings
Day 5: Collecting cuttings on the reserve
Well done to the Nuwejaarswetland SMA team for your energy and eagerness to learn. And a big thank you to our nursery staff, whose willingness to share their skills is helping build a strong, collaborative conservation community in the Overberg.
